EnDat 2.2 Absolute Encoder Master Interface Reference Design for C2000 MCUs

Description

C2000 Position Manager technology offers an integrated solution to interface to digital absolute encoders as well as resolvers and SINCOS transducers eliminating the need for commonly used additional circuits in industrial inverter and servo drives. The PositionManager BoosterPack: described by TIDA-1008: is a flexible low voltage platform intended for evaluating various encoder interfaces and designed to work with Position Manager-enabled LaunchPads such as the LAUNCHXL-F28379D. The highly optimized: easy-to-use library and example software delivered with TIDA-1008 support the EnDat 2.2 and EnDat 2.1 standard.
